The Lord of Luochuan
"Huaihuang, you...... Have you ever seen a house like this?"
Yuan Yu was a little stunned, and he couldn't even speak.
He had never seen such a peculiar building, the whole courtyard sat west and faced east, and even the main entrance was open to the east. The color of the buildings in the courtyard is as flawless as ice and snow. The intrigues between the pavilions, the corridors are carved inside and outside. What is even more mysterious is that the house is surrounded by clouds and mist, and the fragrance is fragrant, just like a fairyland.
"Could it be that this is a mirage of monster illusion to confuse us?" Yuan Yu asked Huai Huang with wide eyes and an incredulous expression.
Huai Huang was also looking at the mansion in front of him, he didn't answer Yuan Yu's question directly, but waved his hand and walked forward.
"If you come, you will be safe, let's go, let's go and have a look. ”
Huaihuang knew in his heart that he had just passed by the Lingtai stone monument praising Luochuan, and a mysterious mansion suddenly appeared a few miles away. This seems to be quite strange, but it is by no means a coincidence.
The two of them took a few steps in the direction of the courtyard, and suddenly saw a figure open the door from the courtyard, as if they knew that Yuan Yu and Huai Huang were here, and walked towards the two of them.
When the figure approached, the two found that the other party was actually a beautiful girl.
She was dressed in a bamboo-blue skirt, she looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with thin makeup, peach-faced red lips and teeth, and a pair of bright eyes like apricot pits. When he walked, even the double-ringed bun on his head trembled with his footsteps.
The girl walked up to them, squatted down and saluted Yuan Yu and Huai Huang, then looked the two up and down, and asked with a smile: "Are the two Lang Jun Yuan Jun and Hu Lu Jun?"
Yuan Yu and Huai Huang looked at each other when they heard this, and they both wondered in their hearts what the origin of this girl was, the two of them had not yet reported their home, and the girl rushed to say the surnames of the two first.
At this time, Huaihuang took a step forward, half-hid Yuan Yu behind him, and bowed down to the girl and hugged his fists, "Forgive Huaihuang for being rude, may I ask what the lady is called? What is this place?"
Seeing that Huai Huang secretly protected Yuan Yu and returned the salute to herself, the girl felt very interesting, so she playfully raised her broad eyebrows and replied with a smile:
"Hui Hu Lujun, the concubine Xiaozi Erzhu, is the maid in Beique, my family Ah Lang heard that there are distinguished guests outside, so he specially asked me to come out to greet the two. ”
"Beique...... How did your master know that we were coming here, could it be that your master was the ......" Yuan Yu was just about to say the word "fish essence", when he saw Huai Huang frowning and winking at him, he forcibly held back the words behind.
Seeing this, Erzhu covered his mouth and giggled: "Don't blame the two Langjun, please rest assured to come with me." My master has no ill intentions, he has been waiting for the two of them for a long time. ”
Seeing that this girl named Ezhu was honest, Huaihuang nodded with a smile: "Then I will drive the lady to lead the way for us." ”
The girl smiled and turned to leave, Yuan Yu looked at the back of the girl who was leading the way in front, and whispered to Huai Huang: "I don't know where this is, I am so big in Qianjin Township, I have never heard of a place called Bei Que here." ”
He also thinks that the girl is cute, and just a few words make people feel like a spring breeze, and they don't look like the monsters who kill people and drink blood in the stories of Zhiwei.
But when Huai Huang first saw Ezhu, he knew that she was not a mortal, so he protected Yuan Yu back as soon as possible.
The strange thing is that he felt that the spiritual power emanating from Ezhu's body was very kind, and there was no perverse and fierce aura, and all kinds of signs had made Huai Huang have a conclusion in his heart:
"Xuanhui, I feel like we've met a god-man. ”
Yuan Yu's mouth opened wide in surprise, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say: "What do you mean...... Is it a god?"
Huai Huang snorted, "This is just my guess, when we see this master later, you and I must be cautious, remember not to lose your words." ”
Where had Yuan Yu seen such a thing, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
There are two thick willow trees at the entrance of the house, as if they are natural doorways. The three of them crossed the willow trees all the way to the main entrance of the house.
Ezhu pushed open the door inlaid with raden and agate, and turned back to make a gesture to the two of them to enter.
"The place where Yiluo will meet, the residence of Songgao. Yuan Yu whispered the door pairs on both sides of the gate. "I know Yishui Luoshui, Song must be talking about Zhongyue Songshan, what does 'this Gao' refer to?"
Huaihuang replied to Yuan Yu: "It should refer to Minggao Mountain, also known as Jiugao Mountain, and the cloud in the Book of Songs, 'the crane sings in Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the sky'", which refers to this mountain. ”
"I know this song "Crane Song", and the next sentence is 'The stone of other mountains can attack jade'. But what's so special about this mountain that it can be compared to Songyue?"
Huai Huang replied: "The ancients believed that Minggao Mountain was the abode of the gods and the place of the 'heavenly chamber'. ”
"Celestial Chamber...... Why is Mingao Mountain the Heavenly Chamber?" Yuan Yu asked, for so many years, all the knowledge he had learned was Professor Huaihuang. "The Book of Songs", "The Book of Books" and "The Ram Spring and Autumn" have all been studied, and the "History" can be regarded as a rough reading, but the things in Huaihuang's stomach seem to be never finished, so that he can't reach it.
Huai Huang said as he walked: "Back then, Zhou Ge was instructed, and King Wu Zhou Fa was in Mengjin to meet the princes to ask for Yin. When passing through Luoyang, King Wu Ziyun 'looked at Santu in the south, looked at Yue in the north, looked at the river in Guzhan, looked at Yiluo in Guangdong, and was not far from the heavenly room", and ordered the Taigong Lu Shang to divination, and the hexagram said that Luoyang corresponded to the purple micro wall in the sky, which was a big deal in the soil, and the king of Wu had the plan to set the capital of Luoyang. Among them, the 'three tu' is Minggao Mountain. ”
"Hu Lujun is really Bo Gu and Jin, and what is written on the door is indeed exactly what it means. My Ah Lang is also a keen reader, and there is a pavilion for books. The thing he admires most is a showman like you. ”
Ezhu lifted the curtain like the wings of the cicada, heard the conversation between the two, and looked at Huai Huangdao with approval in his eyes.
"The lady has won the award, and I really don't dare to be it. Where is your master waiting?"
Ezhu raised his slender hand and pointed at it, "It's not far away, it's Zhenzao Zhai in front." ”
The trio then walked through the long verandah, climbed a section of Uonuma Flying Beam, and finally stopped in front of a three-storey heavy eaves pavilion.
The two maidservants stood on both sides of the temple gate, and when they saw Erzhu arriving at the door with Yuan Yu Huaihuang, they hurriedly took down the long pole from the red coral tree beside them and opened the bead curtain for the three of them.
"Two Langjun, please come in, this is Zhenzao Zhai, the master is already waiting inside. ”
Yuan Yu and Huai Huang glanced at each other, and the two of them strode into the hall.
The bead curtain behind him was immediately lowered by the doorkeeper, and the pearl tortoiseshell on the curtain clanged and collided, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
In the middle of the hall, a man in white was lying on the shore reading a book. Hearing movement outside the hall, he put the scroll in his hand back on the low table, and hurriedly got up and came out to greet him.
After he approached, Yuan Yu and Huai Huang could see clearly. I saw that this man was magnificent, with a face like a crown of jade, wearing a straight-lined robe, and a green jade crown on his head, although he had not yet spoken, he had already exuded a gentleman's style from the inside out.
When the man saw Yuan Yu and Huai Huang, he bowed to the ground to the ground, "Yuan Jun, Hu Lujun, Luo has missed the distance, please forgive me." ”
Yuan Yu and Huai Huang saw that the master was so thoughtful, so they bowed down and sang respectfully together:
"Yuan Yu, Qianjin Township, Luoyang County, meet the master. ”
"Luoyang County Guangmu Li Hu Lu Huai Huang, I have seen Mr. ”
The man stepped forward to help Yuan Yu and Huai Huang up, and arranged the two of them to the seats that had been prepared long ago, and then the maids in the hall presented the delicacies and wines one by one.
"Dare to ask Mr. Gao's name. After Huai Huang took his seat, he asked the man.
The man was gentle and elegant, always smiling, "The surname Gao really dare not be a big name, and the next surname is with this water, his name is Changchuan, and he lives in Luohu Beique." ”
"Luo Changchuan..."Huai Huang couldn't help but whisper after getting the answer, after thinking about it in his heart, he connected with what he had just seen, Huo Ran was shocked: "May I ask if Mr.'s table is Ziyuan?"
Luo Changchuan was stunned when he heard Huaihuang's question, he understood that Huaihuang had already guessed his life experience, so he laughed and said: "Hu Lujun is really wise, he even knows my cousin, he must have heard of Changchuan's absurd things in the past." ”
After receiving Daoluo Changchuan's affirmative reply, the doubts in Huaihuang's heart were finally solved. This man who called himself Changchuan was indeed the god he had guessed, so he said:
"Huaihuang has admired the name of Shenjun for a long time, when you defended Pengcheng in the Wei Dynasty, and asked Fan Yuanbao to pass on the family heirloom, the story of the whole Luoyang is widely rumored, and everyone knows it. Today, Yuan Yu and I don't know the true face of the Divine Monarch, and we have trespassed into your mansion without permission, and I ask the Divine Monarch not to blame. ”
Luo Changchuan hurriedly waved his hand, and said to the two with a smile: "Hu Lujun is serious, I ordered Erzhu'er to go outside to greet the two, why do you say trespassing? But listening to Hu Lujun's tone, could it be that you are a member of the Wei Dynasty? But the Wei Dynasty has been overthrown for more than a hundred years. ”
Huaihuang heard Luo Changchuan mention the old things, and his heart suddenly felt sour, "Huaihuang was indeed born in the Wei Dynasty, when the Jinyang thieves crossed the Yellow River south into Luoyang, and the society was tired in an instant. My master was taken by thieves to Jinyang and hanged, and because I did not want to fall into the hands of the thieves, I jumped into a porcelain-burning kiln when I fled for my life. I wanted to kill myself, but I didn't expect that the fire in the furnace would cause me to stumble upon a lotus statue, and since then I have become what I am now. ”
Luo Changchuan sighed after hearing this: "So that's the case, no wonder I think Hu Lujun is unusual." I heard that in ancient times, some of the blades of divine weapons would also be possessed by human souls, and all of them were living people who jumped into the sword furnace to sacrifice when the blades were being trained. Presumably, Hu Lujun should also be like the sword spirit, although the physical body is broken, but the original god has turned into a spirit body. ”
Yuan Yu heard Huaihuang call Luo Changchuan a god, and saw that Beique was full of coral clams, so he guessed that Luo Changchuan was Hebo. He boldly asked, "Could it be that you are the legendary great god Hebo?"
Luo Changchuan replied with a smile: "Changchuan is just the god of Luoshui, and the river Bo that Yuanjun said is called Wuyi, and he is the god of water in the Yellow River." Wuyi's resident pillar palace is in the abyss below the pillar of the Yellow River. I haven't seen him for nearly a thousand years since we last met in Luoxi. ”
After listening to Luo Changchuan's speech, Huai Huang raised the agate cup on the case and got up to toast him, "I really don't hide it from Shenjun, Xuan Hui and I came to Bei Que today, and the reason was to track a person here. Dare to ask the Divine Monarch again, is that person hiding in Beique now?"
Luo Changchuan smiled and raised his hand to ask Huai Huang to sit down. Why the two of them came to Beique, Luo Changchuan actually knew it for a long time. Seeing that Huai Huang was revealing his intentions, he also raised his wine glass and pecked lightly.
Luo Changchuan then clapped his hands gently, and a girl in pink came out of the inner room, this girl was not Fang Cai's Doozhu, but another beautiful maid.
She bowed to her master's side, Luo Changchuan commanded a few words in her ear, and the girl nodded in response and retreated.
Thinking that the slingshot was still in the hands of that fish spirit, Yuan Yu was a little breathless, and he was anxious to explain the ins and outs of this matter to Luo Changchuan.
"Please forgive Yuan Yu for taking the liberty of this matter, I want to tell you the reason for this matter. ”
Luo Changchuan sat down with a straight face when he heard this, "Yuanjun, please sit down and talk in detail." ”
"Three days ago, a fish spirit broke into my house and stole one of Yuanyu's slingshots in the inner room. Huai Huang and I chased into Luoyang City overnight, but we were unexpectedly injured by this monster. Last night, the two of us set up an ambush to attract it, and the fish spirit really came again. The two of us fought it fiercely, and it escaped with injuries, and we found it here. ”
Yuan Yu finished telling what happened in one breath, and seeing that there was no reproach on Luo Changchuan's face, he continued: "My original intention was only to get the slingshot back, because this slingshot means a lot to me. As for the fish spirit itself, we have no intention of slaughtering. ”
"Yuanjun is not in a hurry, in fact, I already know about this. The fish essence in the mouths of the two is a black fish in Luoshui. Just an hour ago, the snakehead lay wounded in front of the gate of Beque, begging me to save his life. He had already told me what had happened. But as the old saying goes: if you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you believe it, you will be dark, and I invited the two of you to come to the humble house, just to trace the source and clarify the truth of the matter. ”
Luo Changchuan saw that Yuan Yu was sincere, so he informed the two of them of his intentions.
As soon as the words fell, the girl in pink walked out from behind the screen leading to the inner room. I saw that she was holding a white porcelain tray in her hand, and she was followed by a man with a slender figure bowing her head behind her.
The girl gently placed the tray on the low table in front of Luo Changchuan, and then stood beside him.
Yuan Yu and Huai Huang turned their eyes to the low table, and among the white porcelain trays, it was Yuan Yu's slingshot and black skin.
"It's ......!" exclaimed Yuan Yu when he saw the slingshot.
"Yuanjun don't be impatient, do you know him?" Luo Changchuan glanced at the man, meaning that he had just come in with Xun'er.
When the man heard Luo Changchuan ask, he knelt on the ground with a "plop".
Yuan Yu carefully looked at the man kneeling in the middle of the hall, only to see that he was bowing his head, and he could probably see that his body was very tall and strong, his body seemed to be shaking because of pain, his slender hands were propped up on the ground, and blood stains were faintly visible under his dark clothes.
Yuan Yu had no impression of seeing this person, so he replied to Luo Changchuan: "I don't know this person. ”
"He just stole your slingshot, and was injured by you and Hu Lujun. ”
